Feather Canoes

Classic cedar strip solos - the speciality of Henry “Mac” McCarthy, his favorite a 10’6”, 20 pound solo designed for use with a double paddle, named the Wee Lassie. We offer full size patterns of this sweet, fast, responsive solo, as well as patterns for Mac’s Wee Lassie 2, a 13’ 6” 30-pounder, the BIG Mac, and a Feather Canoe version of the Sairy Gamp. Mac’s book Featherweight Boatbuilding is also available for purchase, including autographed copies. Visit us at FeatherCanoes.com, where we’re keeping Mac’s dream alive.
